OmniGraphSketcher 1.1 Beta 3 is now available via the website and software update. This update features fixes for two crashes, as well as an improvement to horizontal line-snapping. We're eager to hear from users about any problems they may be having with the betas, as we're quickly nearing a 1.1 final release. Please don't hesitate to Help > Send Feedback or email.
Just in time for the upcoming holiday weekend in the U.S., here's the latest OmniGraphSketcher beta! This release is mostly bugfixes and tweaks, so check out the release notes and grab it from our download page or via software update if you're already running beta 1.
Feedback on our new error bars feature has been great, but we'd like to hear from as many of you as possible before this release goes final (that goes for all of the new features). Please don't hesitate to email or Help > Send Feedback from within OmniGraphSketcher.
As promised, the updated help is now availabe for all localizations! Also, if you happen to use OmniOutliner's Automator actions, you may have noticed the trouble we've been having with the past couple releases. Due to this, we have changed the build process and fixed the Automator actions for hopefully the last time! We don't anticipate any problems arising from the build change but we'd appreciate any and all testing we can get.
Head over to the download page to grab the beta, if you're running a final release, the beta will not appear in the software updater. If you run into any problems, please contact us at omnioutliner@omnigroup.com or using the Help -> Send Feedback option from in the app.
Thanks!
The last of the troubling little issues when running in Mac OS X 10.6 have been addressed and passed muster, so it's time for this release to go final.
Please do go see all about it at the historical release notes page, and the beta page is closed for the meantime, the download page is the place to be.
Today we're happy to announce the public beta of OmniGraphSketcher 1.1. You can grab it via the beta download page.
So what's new? A lot! We had a great response to OmniGraphSketcher 1.0 and have been working hard on UI tweaks to make the graphing experience even better, as well as a few frequently requested features:
What about those UI tweaks? We've adjusted many tool behaviors for consistency within the application, as well as across our product range. Option-drag now duplicates graph objects, the tab key cycles through labels, and snapping works better in all tools (and when you're trying to snap both to an object and to vertical/horizontal). It's also much easier to add a new point to an existing series: just select a line and one or more free-floating points, then click one of the line-type buttons on the style inspector.
There's a ton more stuff listed in the beta release notes, so you'll have something to read while your download finishes. We look forward to your feedback!
OmniOutliner 3.9.3 is now available! All HTML exporters and Paste with Current Style should now be working correctly. And for the first time in… years? The help file has been updated to reflect the changes in past versions! Currently only the English version has been updated, but we will do another release as soon as the localized versions are ready.
There's also a couple of other bug fixes in this release. Please see the release notes for full details and when you're ready, download it manually or use the built-in software updater. As always, please contact us using Help -> Send Feedback or at omnioutliner@omnigroup.com if you run into any problems or have a question. Thanks!
We let things bake for a little while during the release of OmniGraffle 5.2.1 beta 2, we just wanted to make sure that there wasn't another shoe left to drop when running under Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and things are looking pretty good, so here's a release candidate for you all.
Peruse the historical release notes page, and find the release candidate at the not-so-properly-named beta page.
OmniOutliner 3.9.3 beta 2 is now available for download! Just a couple bug fixes this time, most notable is fixing the issue with attachment tags appearing too small after launch. Also, we're currently in the process of updating the help file which is long overdue! Only the English version has updates at the moment, localization will come once it's been finalized. If you notice any outdated info in the help, please let us know in case we don't catch it.
You can read the full release notes here or head over to the download page. If you encounter any problems with this release, please reach us at omnioutliner@omnigroup.com. Thanks!

We found a handful of bugs since the release of version 5.2.1 beta 1 a couple of weeks ago, and felt that they should be addressed post-haste, as it were. A couple of crash fixes have been made, an error thrown when pasting in data from OmniOutliner got looked at, and some needed tweaking of the multi-touch trackpad code have all been implemented for this beta release.
We encourage you to download and give beta 2 a try (if it's your proclivity to participate in the beta releases), and as always the beta download page and historical release notes await.
